Vag-Com / vagcom Guide - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum

*dpham00* · 10-03-2006, 12:54 AM

Well, i decided to put to put together a little guide for the Vag-Com. It's only a first draft, so let me know what you think! They're in Word, but i can put them in PDF if anyone prefers it that way.

ok, so i revised it into 1 pdf, and added links inside, for easier reading.

Edit: docs attached to our servers so they're preserved (JJ-R32)

vDubr · 10-03-2006, 01:01 AM

Very nice, thanks! This should be stickied.

PDF would be nice too.

azmcs · 10-03-2006, 01:39 AM

Nice. Thanks!

335 Trojan · 10-03-2006, 02:00 AM

Though I don't have Vag-com..i still skimmed through it. Nice job!

Seems like a very useful guide if I had Vag-com...

I am sure this will help a lot of people!

tmrakip · 10-03-2006, 08:11 AM

WOW That would have saved me a lot of time when I first got my VAG-COM!!! I spent countless hours tinkering with it lol. I need to do the fogs as DRLs, hadnt figured that one out. Thanks again!

Stasis · 10-03-2006, 09:08 AM

That's awesome and greatly appreciated... nice work!

cmdrfire · 10-03-2006, 09:30 AM

Nice stuff. Now I gotta get me a VAG-COM...

*GTI2007* · 10-03-2006, 11:18 AM

Pretty nice. Great job

*dpham00* · 10-03-2006, 11:48 PM

ok, so i revised all the info into one file with links inside for easy reading.

olympiaronnie · 10-24-2006, 04:01 PM

id l;ove for anyone to be able to answer me thjis question, where can vag com software be purchased.. can the dealer sell it to you, or do you go through sites like ebay to get it?

*dpham00* · 10-24-2006, 04:39 PM

the software and hardware can be obtained from www.ross-tech.com

thomaschh · 11-09-2006, 06:24 PM

I don't want to be a pita, but can you explain how the remote windows works? The Vag-com screenshot you reference describes doing it via a remote control - I assume meaning the keyfob (duh) - but what button/s do you push? Is it a simple Lock=windows roll up? For example, what does "Comfort opening power windows via remote control" do?

There's a shop nearby that will do the coding for me as long as I bring in the info, but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I tell them to do it.

Thanks,

=Tom

my07blkgti · 11-25-2006, 04:48 PM

is there anyone with the vag-com in the lower NY area that can help me out with a few things i would like to get done?

T23 TSG · 01-22-2007, 05:50 PM

does anybody know the long coding for the engine?? Need this to enable my new cruise control feature

kyrojin · 01-28-2007, 07:18 AM

thinking to buy a vagcom, for a 07 GTI, which interface do I need to get from the site?

or is there anyone in the GVA able to help me out? heh :)

micro-can will only work with the newer cars, like the mkv gti/jetta/rabbit, b6 passat, stuff like that (possibly citigolf, i'm not sure about that though) - $250

hex-usb+can and hex-com+can will work newer and older cars on the mkv gti/jetta/rabbit, mkiv's, b5 & b6 passat, etc. $350

kyrojin · 01-28-2007, 02:34 PM

A little off topic, but which will work with the Audi A4? I'm kinda on the edge of what to get, the A4 w/ CVT or GTI 6spd. Was able to find this forum and seems like a lot of support here. But I can't seem to find the same for the Audi, though it uses the same engine? (though the ratings on APR's site say different)

*dpham00* · 01-28-2007, 07:45 PM

yes, the vag-com will work on the b7 a4, but you MUST buy one of these two cables:

HEX-USB+CAN (USB)
HEX-COM+CAN (Serial)

both these cables will work on the mkv gti also.

DBCPerformance · 05-12-2007, 09:51 PM

DP, please add this information in correct file as well, I am lazy tonight:

Select 17-Instruments
Select Adaptation (10) under advanced functions
Enter Adaptation Channel Number: 42 and select "Read"
The window should read: "Minimum value mileage" and Min. Value Oil in 100 Miles
The stored value should read "50" for 5000 mile intervals
Enter "100" for 10000 mile intervals
Select "Save" and select "Yes" when VAG-COM asks "Are you SURE?"

You may also need to adapt the service interval days:

Select 17-Instruments
Select Adaptation (10) under advanced functions
Enter Adaptation Channel Number: 49 and select "Read"
The window should read: "minimum time interval" and Min. Value Insp. in 1 Days
The stored value may read "180", if it does continue
Enter "365" for 365 days
Select "Save" and select "Yes" when VAG-COM asks "Are you SURE?"

You can also reset the service reminder with the VAG-COM

Select 17-Instruments
Select Adaptation (10) under advanced functions
Enter Adaptation Channel Number: 02 and select "Read"
The window should read: "Service Reminder" and ServRemInd Closed Reset
Enter "00" as the new value
Select "Save" and select "Yes" when VAG-COM asks "Are you SURE?"
To verify the settings briefly press and hold the trip counter reset button until the display reads "Service in 10,000 mi / 16,000 km or 365 days".
